Palin is seeing Pink Elephants? Well, at least that means she's getting off the sauce.

TiredOflt- I would withhold negative comments. At no time has Palin ever demeaned or spoken in a manner that does not inspire others to be proud of who they are. I would venture a guess she would come to the side of Obama if she felt he was accomplishing something good for the people and the country. Many of the other side, the left, seem to fear her or they would not be attacking in demeaning terms. Thanks to the left they have kept alive her figure as a force. One other thing you can bet on is that she still asks God to help and guide Obama.

bcorp- I agree with you. Of course, along with Gov. Palin, we ask God to help and guide President Obama.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am that Sarah Palin has aligned herself with the SBA List and Sue Lowden by association.

When my husband and I heard that they were endorsing Lowden we started looking into why she was chosen. Turns out the the SBA List is an all out sexist organization.
Out of the field of 12 US Senate candidates here in Nevada, they automatically disregarded 10 of them right off the top. Why? Because they are men. Their endorsement has NOTHING to do with the best candidate for the job - it has to do with who fits into their little "box". They have only two criteria: Female and Pro-Life.. If someone has changed from Pro-Choice to Pro-Life that's the icing on the cake for Lowden. PLEASE UNDERSTAND - I'm not bashing anyone for changing their position - I did it myself when I became a Born Again Christian.

When I asked if the SBA List was aware of Lowden's past "flip-flops" in addition to her change in stance on abortion the woman I spoke with, Lindsey, said that Lowden had been "thoroughly interviewed". When I pointed out that anyone can tweak an interview to fit into a specific mold - like during a job interview - and said they should have researched her further, Lindsey suddenly "remembered" that Lowden had also filled out a questionairre. I asked for a copy of the questions and was told that the information wasn't for public view. I clarified that I didn't want Lowden's answers just the questions - and was again told they were pubilc information.

I then asked why they had endorsed Lowden over Angle - who they backed twice in the past. I was told that Lowden was their choice and that if she wasn't in the race they wouldn't have endorsed anyone. Huh? They endorsed Angle twice prior but wouldn't do it again. It's not as if she changed her views or beliefs.

I believe that the SBA List is not into promoting the best Pro-Life candidate at all. They want someone who fits their very narrow criteria. . .They are not educating woman and encouraging a vote for the best candidate - they are asking women to dumb down and vote with their uterus I am 100% Pro-Life but I find thier tactics sickening

For all that Ms. Palin talks about Trig and how he's the best thing to ever happen to her, how often does she actually see or spend time with this special needs child? Between perpetually campaigning, being a tv personality, and doing silly fundraisers/tea party rallies all over, does she really play much of a role in her son, grandchild, or other children's lives, or are they merely more something to cite?

Damn, she's a good-looking woman. Too bad she's such a nut. Her looks, undoubtedly, are the lion's share of her popularity. If she looked like Broomhilda, no one would want to hear her yacking about "pallin' around with terrorists," etc etc.

To me the funny thing is that she's the embodiment of a lot of things conservatives oppose: her daughter had a child out of wedlock and remains unmarried. Palin quit her elected post - I mean, where is the hard work and responsibility? While she yammers talking points about taxes and spending, her knowledge of these and other things is next to zero: what she knows would fit under Bill Buckley's fingernail. Rbam is right: Palin is making it - politically and financially - on her looks.

Get your facts right, Sue Lowden did give Reid money 20 years ago. This is not unusual to donate money to a Senator who is your states representative. Especially if you are doing business in that state. Many Republicans voted for him for decades because he was getting higher and higher in the ranks and once he became the Senior Majority Leader of the House a lot more R's voted for him and donate money to him. If you want to make it an issue, something Sue Lowden did 20 years ago, wow 20 years ago, when maybe Reid wasn't forgetting Nevada is his home state and maybe he was working to make Nevada a better place, and maybe he was helping bring jobs to Nevada but today that is a different story and for his past term he has not showed Nevada he is on our side and helping get jobs back or helping to stop the continuing foreclosure of homes because he helped create the monster that caused this mess. Every person is entitled to vote for the candidate of their choice and donate their money to that campaign or cause but to hold it against them 20 years after the fact, seems a bit ridiculous! Sue Lowden for the US Senate you have my vote!!!!

When Sarah spoke of "pink elephants" it had nothing to do with what she was seeing or drinking, although the usual smear bloggers put their infantile meanings to it. We have seen entirely too much of "Code Pink", an assortment of folks off their medications, with too much time on their hands, and not much in their lives. And for the one who commented on Sarah's looks, would they prefer she look like the Nancy Pelosi or Cindi Sheehan? No thanks. There are many capable women in business and politics today, such as Jane Norton of Colorado who I have observed chairing investigations and committees with calm management of time and agenda to reach sensible conclusions. We need many more like the ones listed in article, rather than the Boxer's, Waters, Pelosi bullies. I am independent, but would like to see calm co-operation in Washington of self respecting leadership. Smear machines lead to the dividing, racism, anger, and frustration and turn-off of voters. Pink Elephants (or any color) beat having 800 lb gorillas in the room.

Look out! Look out!
Pink elephants on parade
Here they come!
Hippety hoppety
They're here and there
Pink elephants ev'rywhere
Look out! Look out!
They're walking around the bed
On their head
Clippety cloppety
Arrayed in braid
Pink elephants on parade
What'll I do? What'll I do?
What an unusual view!
I could stand the sight of worms
And look at microscopic germs
But technicolor pachyderms
Is really much for me
I am not the type to faint
When things are odd or things
are quaint
But seeing things you know that ain't
Can certainly give you an awful fright!
What a sight!
Chase 'em away!
Chase 'em away!
I'm afraid need your aid
Pink elephants on parade!
Pink elephants!
Pink elephants!

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!! Sue Lowden was PRO-CHOICE before it became more convenient for her to run if she switched to PRO-LIFE!! Like John Kerry who voted FOR the bill before he voted AGAINST it . Sue even VOTED pro-choice and tried to get the NV Republican Party to adopt abortion as part of their platform!! Then she supported Harry Reid in at least 5 elections, Jimmy Carter in at least one election....voted for Harry Reid. She also disenfranchised many voters in the 2008 Nv Convention by shutting off the lights and closing the meeting BEFORE the vote. I was a strong supporter of Sarah Palin, but I am seriously considering changing my mind. If you support this RINO then you are a RINO!!

Sarah, unfortunately, has not investigated all of these candidates, and I don't know who is feeding her faulty information. And her father is supporting one of Sue Lowden's opponents - Danny Tarkanian! Talk about miscommunication !!

When Sarah came out for John McCain, I knew her endorsements were not for conservative principles, but for "front runners" at the time.!

Sue Lowden is the Washington establishment GOP choice - not the choice of the people of Nevada!

Sarah - ask Sue how many NV GOP county straw polls she has won. Answer - zero!
Sharron Angle has won all but one!

Ask Sue how she did in the post-debate polls both in Reno and Las Vegas - again, zero!
Sharon Angle, the "real deal" conservative, won both!

Sarah - I attended all three of your Nevada appearances in 2008.

"Sarah, I hardly knew ye".

Some like to chastise Ms. Palin because she has endorsed candidates deemed 'insufficiently conservative'. For those who believe this who are not progressive trolls, I would suggest that one needs to back the best candidate who has fiscal conservative credentials who can actually WIN a particular election against the Democratic candidate. Those who especially seek to instill some sort of social conservative credentialing process to the equation are, IMO, unrealistic and more importantly, should look to their Constitution for guidance.

Well if Trig was the best thing to have happen to her, then that is too bad for Bristol. Poor daughter just wasn't good enough for mom. She needed to have a downs syndrome kid to really be grateful.

So sick the way someones sometimes irrational thought processes and decisions get thrown up as a person is projected into stardom. Mrs. Palin, for anyone who can count to 6, is just plain NOT a person who acts on logic. You see ber breakdown in her own thinking abilities when she isnt in constant reach of her handlers. Its all nice and warm fuzzy to put the class clown on the ballot... You go America!!! Show Washington by electing the national joke!!! Until you realize that her handlers are the same ppl who handled the Bush administration. she is being orchestrated by Karl Rove, you idiots. If you cant see us coming one step closer to the Evil Empire every time she speaks and someone claps, you are in SERIOUS need of a re-education program. And yes, you better believe it WILL come to that if blatant lies and misrepresentations continue in America.
